Hi,
Michael Sweet has closed the PDFio issue in which I ask for support of
PDF forms and annotations, telling that inside PDFio nothing further
needs to be done, that everything can be solved outside PDFio, by the
calling application.
As we want to get rid of C++ in libcupsfilters I plan to let it use
PDFio where it is currently using QPDF.
Mike, as you tell that PDFio is OK for handling PDF files with filled
forms/annotations, I want to post a GSoC project idea to switch over
libcupsfilters from using QPDF to PDFio. WDYT? Is this possible already?
Or are there still any features missing in PDFio?
